They want to know why glutathione is discussed in both wellness and aesthetic settings, and the answer starts with how closely it is tied to cellular health, antioxidant defense, and the bodys natural maintenance systems

Glutathiones Antioxidant Properties A glutathione deficiency in the body is linked to cognitive decline, mitochondrial dysfunction, and other age-associated degeneration of health functions.* Recent research suggests that nutritional interventions, including amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals through diet and nutritional supplements, can help maintain an optimal circulating level of glutathione in the body.* 1 Glutathione exerts its antioxidant effects primarily through reduction , conjugation , and interaction with other antioxidants.* The following table highlights glutathiones antioxidant properties and how it eliminates toxins from the body and helps maintain the bodys antioxidant defense system.* 2 In addition, glutathione is involved in other beneficial cellular processes, such as protein folding, degradation of proteins with disulfide bonds, cell cycle regulation and proliferation, and beneficial cell death (apoptosis).* Although glutathione is a critical antioxidant and is endogenously produced by the body, its absorption is generally poor when taken orally as a supplement
